SSM 516262023-05-16. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2023 F-Super Duty vehicles built on or before 28-Mar-2023 and equipped with a 12.3 inch IPC display may experience a blank IPC screen. This may be due to a faulted graphics interface processor (GIP) in the IPC Module. If a vehicle exhibits this condition, use the Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS) to determine if the GIP is communicating. To confirm GIP communication, start a session with the vehicle using FDRS. From the Vehicle Info tab, select IPC. Under Module Details, if device identification (DID) F120 indicates Null, the GIP is faulted, and the IPC module (base part number: 10849) requires replacement. Do not replace the IPC display for this condition. For claiming, use causal part 10849 and M-time.
SSM 515932023-05-16. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:INFOTAINMENT. Some 2023 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit the IPC reverting back to the home screen after the vehicle is shut off and restarted. The last screen viewed by the customer may not be remembered after the ignition is cycled. This is an operating characteristic of the vehicle and no repairs should be performed at this time. Use the Report a Vehicle Concern link at the bottom of OASIS to submit a report if there is a customer concern of IPC operation.
